No work for me today...so out I went. Very proud to say I've done the last run and even better carried on to get 5k in 31.20. Loved the programme and love how much better I feel for it!

Congratulations, eddie! That's fantastic time too

Congratulations Eddie, you must be so chuffed. And what a great time too! Hope you are going to carry on running - any specific plans?

[eddie23 Graduate in reply to CarolStr]

Absolutely chuffed! Yes, definitely want to carry on running. Nothing specific...might use a mixture of the 5k+ podcasts and maybe the odd wk9 (despite annoying music!) Part of me would love to slowly sneak up to 10 k but I don't know if that might set off my shin splints....managed so far thanks to compression socks!!

Well done and a good pace. me I am 5k in about 40 minutes as a best time.

There are the 3 other podcasts from the NHS of 5K+ with Stepping Stone, Speed and Stamina. The first is 30 minutes, 2nd 16minutes (but feels like you have done a full 30 at the end) and the last 35. All include the 5 minute walks at the start and end.

I like you am listening to Week 9 but will be mixing in 1 and 3 of the 5K+ from next week. Have also just put my own music on and run to that for distances nearing the 5K of running mark.

Well done ! and good time ! How you gonna celebrate . I celebrated with a Magnum (Ice Cream) when the weather was warmer. Bet you've still got your best "cheesy" grin face on !

Well done! It's fun working out your own schedule and playing with the podcasts. There is a "Bridge to 10K" community complete with podcasts on here if you decide to go that path. Personally I am enjoying life around 5K at the moment!
